You mean I'm supposed to be SANE when I do this??????? ...LOL. Well, for the time being, I'm going to have to work with the bench I have now...but I'm getting a lot of good ideas from people on here & other people I know who do woodworking. Unfortunately, I don't know any wood CARVERS & have yet to go to a carving class or carving club in my area to see what it's all about. I work nights, so, finding a class or club that's 3rd shift friendly isn't so easy. Maybe the class or classes will come into play after I get back from vacation in Alaska next summer. I'll be able to do something about the bench before that though...I hope.....Gotta find a seat to plant my carcass in, too.

I'm looking to build a workstation to hold my work & my tools in close proximity. All I have @ the moment is a small clamping device I got from WOODCRAFT & I think it's time to get something more. I'm open to ANY ideas & would love to see pictures of all different kinds to get ideas to make my own unique station. Thank you, in advance, to ANYBODY who replies to this post & maybe even posts a picture of ANYBODY'S workstation.....whether it belongs to them or someone they know. As always, I'm VERY appreciative of ANY time that ANYBODY takes to help newcomers. Have a great day!!

Tony,

I was looking at your workstation in photo HPIM1289 and thinking "Jeez, it doesn't look very sturdy." until I saw how and what you had it anchored to!
My goodness! did you bring that block of stone in with forklift?! :-)
What a great set up!

LOL!!
the granite block weighed over 200lbs, it was the first base I tried with the stand but it wasn't as stable as what I have now. What i use now is a multi layer plywood base (8 total) that the stand is bolted to, plus my weight and its rock solid
